Halema'uma'u is the place where Pele lives. There are steam vents all around the area. As you walk by, even on a brisk day, you can feel the warmth as you pass by an opening into the earth. The colors in this place are astounding. I am not sure I did them justice. I also noticed I need to work more on separating the mid-ground from the foreground. That pesky aerial perspective. This was done this morning as the huge harvest moon peered through my windows.
